Backup a streamer's Twitch VODs

Waits for a Twitch streamer to go live, then downloads their VOD. There's probably a better command line tool for this but I couldn't find one.

To Use:

• Download the Python 3.10
• Clone the repo & navigate to the dir
  • git clone https://github.com/skend/backup_twitch_vods.git
  • cd backup_twitch_vods
• Install the required dependencies
  • pip install -r requirements.txt
• Register a Twitch application to get your Auth token and Client-Id
• Add your auth token and client-id to the my_secrets.py file (example below):

  •   auth = 'Bearer 8uossvabcdefgh123456tblte5i25w'
      client_id = 't2ujbhtfvabcdefgh123456xz3yiuk'
    

• Run python backup_twitch_vods.py -h to see how to run

λ python backup_twitch_vods.py -h
usage: PROG [-h] [-u USERNAME] [-p POLLING_RATE] [-d DIRECTORY]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -u USERNAME, --username USERNAME
                        Username of Twitch streamer to stalk
  -p POLLING_RATE, --polling_rate POLLING_RATE
                        Number of seconds to sleep between stalks
  -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY
                        The directory to the save the vods in

Examples:

python backup_twitch_vods.py -u mizkif -p 10 -d "/home/skend/twitch/no_content_streamer"
